Chocolate Chip Muffins Recipe

Ingredients:

• ½ cup butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Method:

1. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
   • Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
   • Lightly grease the paper liners with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Mix the Batter:
   • In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about two minutes.
   • Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined.
   • Add the baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract, and mix briefly until incorporated.
3. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients:
   • Add half of the flour to the butter mixture and mix with a hand mixer until just combined.
   • Pour in the milk and stir until well combined.
   • Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure everything is well mixed.
   • Add the remaining flour and mix until just combined.
4. Add Chocolate Chips:
   • Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
5. Fill the Muffin Tin:
   • Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
6. Bake:
   • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven is preheating, let the batter rest.
   • Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • After 7 minutes of baking, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Keep an eye on the muffins, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
7. Cool:
   • Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
